SMSC SLC90E66 (Victory66) southbridge
Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2020 10:52 pm
Pin compatible PIIX4E replacement made by SMSC with UDMA/66 IDE and OHCI USB. Very obscure for how late and short-lived it was: sampling in late 2000 (i815 was already out!), general availability of motherboards in early 2001, exited from business in late 2001.
